New O&A Congregation: Brentwood Christian Church, Springfield, MO

GLAD’s Open & Affirming Ministry Program welcomes Brentwood Christian Church, Springfield, MO, as our newest Open & Affirming Congregation.

You may remember the pastor of Brentwood Christian, Rev. Dr. Phil Snider, from the speech he gave to the Springfield City Council, that went viral on Facebook and YouTube last year. You can see that video here.

Rev. Snider tells us that being Open & Affirming has been a part of the congregation’s DNA for years; only recently did they formalize their commitment with a vote and a request to be placed on GLAD’s list of Open & Affirming Ministries.

Watch this video by the congregation and check out their website.
